This is one of those examples about what happens when I overthink assignments (which coincidentally happens to me quite a bit). SolidWorks is actually pretty easy, and this is one of the many, many exercises I did to get to know the properties and how to control them. I spent soooo much time thinking that there was an obscure objective to the assignment, but all along I was doing it right. I am now finally working on my final model of assignment 1 due tomorrow in class.
